Hey 
First time trying a HIIT routine today after doing some weight lifting. I am dying lol but felt worth it.
Just wondering if anyone has a HIIT routine I could try. I want to loose and weight and tone up. But the most work needed is defiantly my legs and booty.
So any ideas would be great. Thank you

Thanks very much is it right you should change your routine every 6 weeks? With HIIT and weight training?
any more ideas welcomed 0 -
Don't always have to change the routine. Change the reps, weight resistance, speed of workout, recovery time and sequence are legit ways to change the routine.

Does this apply to other areas of weight training as well?0 -
Thanks
Also how do you time the HIIT routine. I just downloaded this app on iPhone but it is set to one minute. Just wondering if anyone knows an app and u can change it yourself?0 -
Hi there!
HIITs are awesome! I will be honest, a lot tend to be 'full body', but below is one that I really like. Let me know if you want a few others that could be helpful!
HIIT Workout for Legs:
5 minute warm up: jumping jacks, running in place, punch-kicks, etc -- -whatever you want
High Knees – 30 seconds
Squats 8 times
Mountain climbers – 30 seconds
Lunges 8 times
Skipping rope (low arms)– 30 seconds
Dead lift 8 times (desired weight)
Fast feet – 30 seconds
Sumo squats - 8 times
Squat jumps – 8 times
Step ups – 30 seconds
Burpees – 8 times
One minute rest
Do 8 rounds of these. If that’s too much, make your goal 5 rounds of this set.0 -
Wow looks great thanks. Yeah any more would be great thanks. I'll add them to my notes on iPhone and keep using them. Thanks so much.
What do you use to time yours?
Is it a 30 second break inbetween each?0 -
I usually have a stop watch ... for the ones that are 8 times, I don't necessarily time it--- I care about form more than speed in those cases, especially when I was first doing it. I take a 15-30 second break (you'll use that anyway to get set up for the next one move).
I'll send the other exercises-- just need to find them all b/c I have some on my boyfriend's computer! LOL! I'll message them by tomorrow!0 -
Thanks appreciate it 0

I see a lot of people giving HIIT routines with weights.. I would say no to this mainly because we or at least I dont... know if you even know how to do the workouts/lifts
Will you be more focused on the 30 seconds/deadlifts... or on performing the movement with proper form... doing weights real fast can lead to poor form = possible injuries.
All these are good workouts but maybe you should tell us how long you've been lifting and go a bit more into detail...
I recommend a bit more of a BodyWeight routine at least while you get used to working out "out of breath" sorta style... then little at a time start adding weight..
My opinion, what do you think?0 -
Yeah I only been lifting for 2 weeks. Been doing it on my own. So still not sure if I have proper form. I hope I do. But just want to loose weight too. That's why I thought to maybe try HIIT every day. I'm 11stone2 at the mo. Would ideally like to be 10 but fit also.0

Could you share your macros and caloric goal please?
That's what I thought, not everyone can start off doing HIIT excersies with weights. There's plenty of BW workouts though 0 -
What's bw?
Well I eat 1,800 with carbs 25%, fat 40%, protein 30%. Struggling with the macros, especially the carbs. Don't know if I'm doing any of this right. I lost 7lbs last week. But it was prob just water. So we'll see. I'm 5ft70 -

A really good iPhone app for HIIT is "Seconds." Very flexible and yet simple. Perfect for the job.0

Head out to a local track. Do deap lunges for 25 meters. Walk 25 meters. Repeat and go around the track. Next time out go maybe 30 meters each lunge cycle and repeat.0 -
